Line 83:
* [[Parody]]: The trilogy prominently features a major parody recognizable only to the British: The Rumbles are a ''vicious'' parody of ''[[The Wombles]]''.
** It's also been suggested that the Borribles themselves are a parody of ''[[The Borrowers]]''.
** The Special Borrible Group is am equally vicious parody of the [[wikipedia:Special Patrol Group|Special Patrol Group]].
* [[Pointy Ears]]: The only obvious ''physical'' trait that distinguishes Borribles from human children.
* [[Posthumous Narration]]: There are a couple very subtle hints at the end of ''Across The Dark Metropolis'' that the entire trilogy has been told by {{spoiler|the clipped and now grown-up Knocker}}.
